Ah, September. A chill in the air – actually, no, that’s not right; it’s going to be 91 here today. Um, colours blooming on all the trees? Nope, not yet. And if we go straight from summer to winter again the way we have a couple times recently, we may not get much anyway.
Okay, fine. No autumn stuff just yet. Still, given that today is the eighth of September, the minor league season has been all wrapped up and tied with a bow. The Arizona Fall League will be beginning soon, earlier than ever before, as clubs have agreed to start it up almost immediately following the conclusion of the regular milb season, rather than having players take multiple weeks off then try to ramp back up to play again.
